Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Please let me open my fuel bay by right click ing a ship / capacitor again.

Let me save various views and drag them onto the neo comm with different icons (Old ship view for example)

Shift+Dragging things from a hangar to the drone/cargo on the fitting window does not work properly. It doesn't provide the proper quantity to fill things

Provide an option to make 'open in new window' the default behavior.

Also, consider giving us an option to modify the delay when dragging over the tree view that causes it to switch views

It would also be nice if dragging near the top/bottom of the tree view moved the tree view up and down like typical windows explorer behavior.

Also, how about making the trade window remember it's location. I find myself moving it a lot before I can use it.

Add back the right click context menu bays... when you right click your ship such ah carriers, the you should be able to open all the bays via the context menu... fuel, ships, cargo and such...

The system, that works now, is fine for me, but there is one exception:
When you have your cargo window opened and you try to watch a wrecks contents, it opens it in the same window.
Why can't it work like the station item tab: when you dock at a station, it appears in the place where it was last time.
With wrecks contents - if you try Shift + click and place it somewhere on your screen, then you close it and access it again, it will still open in the place where the Alt+C (I use it as active ship contents) window was.
Can this be changed someway?

'Improvements' I would like to see (Spelled OPTIONS):

LOOTING

Looting is still annoying as hell with the new UI. I prefer the way it used to be, if you opened a can or wreck the box would be separate, but you could place it near your overview (yes it did drift, but not much) and the loot all button was there. Now the Loot All button is in the cargo window, which for me is generally on the lower left of the screen. So have to track back and forth across the screen now to hit it.

If the old method of looting is going to be dead and gone, can we please make the Loot All button mappable? Open cans, is mappable, heck, changing your portrait is mappable! Loot all was a great feature, the UI gimped it.

Yes, some people find the new method better for them, and for ships like the Noctis where you are just sucking everything in to a pile it is tolerable (still slower though), but when you are looting and salvaging on the fly it sucks.

THE ITEM HANGAR AND THE SHIP HANGAR

Two things I would like to see:
1. An option to move the ship hangar tree to the bottom of the list. When you have one or two ships it isn't a big deal, but when you have a bunch fo prepped PVP ships in your hangar you end up with your active ship cargo at the top of the tree and the items hangar in the bottom and as huge flipping list in the middle.
2. An option, when I open my inventory in a station from the Neocom, to always start with the Items Hangar instead of my cargo hold. If I am docking to get ammo, I need to go get my items hangar, if I am getting a mission item or a purchase, I need to see my items hangar.

THE TREE

One of the great faults of the tree system is huge amount of vertical space it can require. For those of you that don't have more than a couple things, this may not seem like a big issue, but it you are flying an Orca, you can take up 12 lines in that tree just to see the spaces in the ship (for those that are wondering, 1 line for the ship name/cargo hold, 1 for the drone bay, one for the ore bay, one for the maintenance bay, 1 for the corp hangar header, and 7 more for the hangar sections)

A narrow tree-only option that could be to one side and allow players to shift-click the needed windows would be handy. Right now if I want to see a tall tree I have to burn up a lot of screen space with the inventory window that is attached to it.

Also, can we get an option to make the tree scroll bar wider?

TWO CARGO WINDOWS WHEN YOU UNDOCK

This is a bugged feature of the attempts to find some level of happiness with the window 'states'. If you open a different cargo window when in station so you can drag stuff easily and confidently between your ship and the station it does not go away when you undock. But you will still have your old cargo window in space from when you came in (therefore two windows) of which the extra one is not handled by the cargo bay button and has to be X-ed out,



I'm sure I can think of more, the system still seems have a lot of lag issues (like opening a can/wreck at 2500 but you've moved to almost on top of it before the system responds,, and fly-by deplays cause you to turn around rather than grab the loot and keep going).

Check my bio if you want to see if the full version of my sig. CCP made the UI for everybody rather than finding out what the groups wanted.

undo the disaster with the inventory madness...

The activate on mouse-over is really frustrating, their may be an options to turn it off which i can't find and if so please tell me where it is, or please make one.

It would be great great if the research/development/production window used the same listview layout, that way it would be possible to start jobs on blueprints inside containers. The new inventory makes it really easy to organize you items, using containers but that seem kinda pointless when you need to take it out to use it.

Or have it selected by default when opening the wreck window, so you can just tap the enter key to do it

The Issue

I'm sure this has been said before but for people like me with messy hangers the search function is fine when you know what you're looking for but to look at everything in it is just killer.


The Fix

FOLDERS. Folders fix everything.

Edit: I saw someone mention having the ability to tag items for use in the filter, that would work if the folders are not allowed.

Hello

Please make container status "Locked" or "Unlocked" placed on the server. Its horrible and "paintfull" to reclicking that on every change of computer. Especially when you chnage them often like me,
